2 Sisters (formerly Wall St. Deli) (DC on C St)

You'll pass by this place and never bat an eye. That's a shame too because it's a pretty good deli. Not great, but for the immediate area, worth going to if you want either a deli sandwich...or a sizeable meat-rice-bean burrito. Nothing special about the place in terms of the shop. It's very utilitarian and straight-forward...except the separate line to pay.

So this is the one odd thing about the place.  There are effectively three lines -- one of the burritos, one for the sandwiches, and then one to pay. But the layout is a typical deli line (think Subway sandwich shop where you have meats, then veggies, then pay, but sub out burritos for meats, sandwiches for veggies, and pay is pay) And that third one is the troublesome one because you wonder "Are they in the sandwich line or the pay line?" It's just odd.
Otherwise, though, the meats taste fresh and as for the burritos, they are sufficient, though they could lay off the salt a little.

Cost
$-$$

Cleanliness
The prep line though looks pretty clean, and that's what matters. Otherwise, eh, it's a deli. Take it to go.

Service
It's counter-service. They're usually nice though.

Pluses 
Tasty
Consistent

Minuses
The line
A little too vanilla -- nothing draws you back, though the food IS good.

Overall value
Good enough. Nice change of pace for an area deprived of good eats.
